Today we celebrate all mums - from new mums to cat mums, grandmums to stepmums. We celebrate mums of all species- to a baby their mum is their whole world regardless of who they are.

And we also celebrate extraordinary individuals like WPF Founder Debbie who dedicate their lives to nurturing, protecting and providing a better world for our animal friends. Debbie you have been a mother to the motherless- providing warmth, care and love to those who have known little kindness. Your heart knows no bounds, and your sanctuary has become a beacon of hope for so many souls. Thank you for teaching us the true meaning of unconditional love and compassion. Your tireless efforts remind us of the goodness in the world. May your day be filled with as much joy and love as you give to your furry and feathery children every day.

Debbie- keep shining your light on the world ❤️

★★★☆☆ I had high hopes when I checked into Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary : five-star reputation, glowing reviews, and promises of luxury straw accommodation. Upon arrival, I was shown to my suite. The staff had clearly tried their best, but the straw arrangement- frankly, chaotic. I spent the better part of the afternoon reorganising the entire bed myself. That said, the staff were polite and the hand fed strawberries were a nice touch. I appreciate the effort, truly but next time, please consult me on straw presentation.

We had to say goodbye to beloved Ivy this week.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about waking up to find we'd lost one of our senior mares, Grace, who had passed peacefully in her sleep overnight. No sign of illness or injury, just old age.

We were concerned about Ivy her long-term paddock buddy as she would no doubt feel the loss and were set to do all we could to help her through. What followed was something we'll never forget.
Grace and Ivy were very bonded, they had endured years of extreme neglect together before being seized by the RSPCA and coming here. Whether it was the deep bond they shared, or Ivy's instincts as a herd animal, or something we humans just can't fully understand. I don’t know.

After saying goodbye to Grace, Ivy immediately stopped eating, she frequently lay down where she last saw her friend and lost all interest in the world around her. No matter what we did or offered, Ivy would not respond. She loved her feed like no other before Grace passed. She literally would kick the gate down for her feed bucket.

I don’t know what to think but Ivy's sense of loss was immediate and profound. I feel, she had made her choice. She couldn't face life without Grace and we had to make the kindest decision to let her go. Our vet reviewed Ivy and found a number of underlying conditions that could not be fixed. The immediate change in Ivy’s demeanour and health was heartbreaking to all of us here.

I know there's no scientific proof that grief or a feeling of loss alone caused Ivy to stop wanting to live, but the team here all witnessed something very profound and extremely sad.

Whether it's horses, cows, pigs, or any other animal - they feel, they grieve, they love. And sometimes that love and grief runs deeper than we can imagine. Grace and Ivy's story will stay with us always.

Thank you Ivy and Grace.

Three years ago Bob the donkey and his long-term paddock companion, Annie the Clydesdale, urgently needed a safe home. Sadly, their owner could no longer care for them and was desperate to find them sanctuary - a safe place where they could live out their lives without worry. We said yes and soon after Annie and Bob were on their way to the start of their new lives and friendships.

Settling into sanctuary life, Bob quickly decided he likes the company of other donkeys and Annie the same with horses, so they are spending their days with their new-found friends... knowing their lifelong buddy is never far away.

Our work save lives

Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary is located in the lower Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia and provides care to hundreds of farmed animals every year. Animals rescued from severe neglect, horrific abuse and abandonment. Animals that literally have nowhere else to go find safety with us. Here at the sanctuary, the rescued animals are able to live their lives free from harm and suffering. They need never worry again.

We started Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary back in July 2014. It was a big leap leaving our secure city life behind and moving to 100 acre property to set up a sanctuary from scratch. The learning curve was steep, the days were challenging, exhausting and rewarding but six years on here we are. One of the leading farm sanctuaries in Australia rescuing and rehabilitating hundreds and hundreds of farmed animals and educating and inspiring thousands of people to move to a cruelty-free lifestyle.

The sanctuary would not exist without the support of thousands of people who believe in our work and in a better world for animals. We are a registered charity. We are 100% volunteer run. We receive no government funding. Where Pigs Fly Farm Sanctuary has full DGR1 status and therefore all donations over A$2.00 are tax-deductible.

Thank you for being a part of our community.
